Deadguy 861 #3 Posted June 17, 2016 It is a 1972 Raider 10 with 1" axle shafts. I was able to find replacement axle shafts on eBay, but 1" hubs are evading me. Well, other than the guy on eBay that is selling them for $100! I have found several hubs on various websites that sell parts, but none of them say what size axle they are for. Does anyone know what Wheel Horse or Toro axle hub part numbers are for the 1" size? Thank you! Also, I thought these things were supposed to be tough! This busted while pulling a chisel plow through soft ground. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N3PUY 1,031 #4 Posted June 17, 2016 And it's ONLY 44 years old! That didn't just happen. That hub has been loose for years to be that beat! When did you last tighten the set screws? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the part # is cast right into the back of the hub. Looks like 3979. Chances are that your set screw became loose and caused this damage.

Racinbob 10,256 #10 Posted June 19, 2016 Loose 'for years' didn't cause that. Decades of use and fatigue did. It's possible the set screw was over torqued and caused a hairline crack in the casting and finally it just gave way. Anything can and will break given enough years. It's no reflection on the toughness at all. There will be many at the big show and it looks like Howard will get you fixed up. No need to pay the ridiculous Ebay prices. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moe1965 717 #11 Posted June 19, 2016 I have a 1 inch hub off a raider 10 if your are interested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howie 882 #12 Posted June 20, 2016 I have a tractor here that I bought last fall with some damage similar. Had to tear it down anyway and hubs were sort of high for used ones so I bought the cutter to put new keyway in. Put the sleeve in 90 degrees from the old one and put in a new keyway. Since i have a small press it made this possible and I had seen this done at my place of employment. Got a piece of 1/4 inch copper and made a piece to mimic the key clamped it in welded the axle and then turned it down. I know everyone can't do this but since I could I went ahead with it on mine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mid60's 93 #13 Posted June 25, 2016 Had that happen to my Commando 8. Probably decades of use and being loose. Tightening only put off the inevitable. Took the complete trans. to the machine shop where they cut a new keyway on the opposite side of the axle and a replacement hub and I was good to go. That was 10 years ago. Still going strong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still going strong. unfortunately, there are cracks in the axle radiating out from the mashed up key way, so the whole end of the axle is structurally compromised. I did find replacement axles, and next is the fun step of removing the transmission, cracking it open, and pulling out the differential assembly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #15 Posted July 3, 2016 Piece of cake. It is harder to find those hubs then it is to open and fix that transmission. BTW, how is it going?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadguy 861 #16 Posted July 3, 2016 Howard got me hooked up with a new hub from the big show. I found replacement axles too. I will be moving in a few weeks, so once I get my new shop set up, I will probably do a full transmission rebuild on that tractor, as long as I have it off the tractor. In the meantime, here is a picture of my other two horses to enjoy! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I wonder if this is like a celebrity dying, [coming in threes]. I have owned my raider 10 for a couple of months and noticed that low range has some lag time and the wheels take a bit of time to move. High range is fine and dandy. Maybe in its previous experience the tractor pulled some heavy stuff in low range. I lost a tree and used it to pull a heavy tree section closer to the fire to make it easy to cut up and burn right away. Now the low range problem is worse and I will need to tear it down this winter. Video sounds like a great idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #20 Posted July 5, 2016 The videos are available in 2 places. On U-Tube by clicking the link at the bottom of my signature, and by going into the "Reference" Section (Transmissions) on the main page of this site. If anyone needs any help, or has questions...just start a thread and ask. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
